Just what do we know about Ward Churchill? That radical agitator, That Colorado college professor Most famous for calling Twin Tower 9/11 dead technocrats Little Eichmanns. Noteworthy is the fact that The United States Supreme Court Denied certiorari, Passed on hearing his claim of Unlawful discharge. Unlawful discharge? Sounds felonious and vile: Like pus laced with ***** A criminal secretion, like mucus Smuggled past Customs: Vaginal contraband. Sorry, Ward. We just don’t give a **** Your fake Indian pedigree, Your bogus Vietnam fairytales, Your phony combat record, Your forward ops recon Way out in ******* Cambodia, Fall flat like Buffalo turds. You’ve been slick, Ward. Hired originally to fill Some gratuitous affirmative action quota, Denied tenure in two legitimate departments, You create some ******** academic discipline For campus freaks & geeks. Self-appointed Department Chairman, A fraudulent college professor from the start, Once tenured, a courageous warrior for free speech. Describing Native American history as genocide. Summing up American history as Holocaust denial. Professor Churchill was all of these things, And less. But using the Holocaust metaphor To anchor one’s fakakta politics? That was the proverbial last straw, The camel buster, if you will. Especially since most of the Stockbrokers & market analysts Crushed in the rubble were Jewish. Hava Nagila, Babaloo!
